I'm currently working on a 3D city in Cinema 4D. This is a completely made up skyline. Its still in early stages but basically I used as a template Gwadah in Pakistan! Peculiar choice I know, but its on a thin isthmus peninsula, which means its not going to grow uncontrollably large, as its hemmed in on all sides by the sea. As its based on a real place, its developing more naturally as well.

Anyway, I've modellled the main low rise existing buildings, and now I'm moving onto my own stuff, hahaha!! Theres already a batch of highrises under construction on the left, and flats in the foreground. All the buildings are to scale. Most of the key buildings have names (which is easier to keep track of when building them), the tower in the foreground has been christened Memorial Tower and its 102m.

Comments welcome. I'll post regular updates.

That's really cool!! :okay:

Amazing! Is this based on the real city planning, or ur own design?

That looks really good! Do you have more?

awesome job. :)

Thanks for the comments. Yeah I used a real plan, just copied screenshots in Google Earth of Gwadah and then tiled them together in Photoshop, so theres quite a lot of detail. Then I approximately made the terrain, hills and mountain in the background. If you look at Gwadah in Google Earth, it looks vagually similar. All the low rise exisitng buildings were extruded up as simple blocks, their pretty crude, but your eye dosen't notice.

THe textures I hand drew, scanned into Photoshop to edit and then simply applied to the sides of the extruded blocks. In fact other than the map (and sky) everything else is hand textured. All the high rise buildings and mid rise do not exist in reality. So I'm simply using the existing Gwadah as a backdrop I suppose. Plus as its a desert I can get away without having trees (always labour intensive when rendering!)

I'm rendering more as I type. What I call the midtown area, which is in the middle of the peninsula to the left (where the distant towers are). This is an on going project, so I'll keep you updated.

holy hell... the first pic in your last post is awesome.. i thought it was real at first

Men, you are really really good :cheers:
Can you tell me how you did it with the map you are working with?

Okay...FlyingDutchman, I simply copied aerial views and joined them together in photoshop to form a big map. Then applied this to a plane object in Cinema 4D. I could then slice the plane to make the outline of the buildings and simply extrude them, using the map as an approximate template. However, now all the new buildings are made up, so I can just create them without a template below.

i love this, it has a great feel to it. looks really real :D

How amou adding more green, like parks and tree's to make it look even better?

Thanks for that explanation, I might try it once if you don't mind ;)
Your rendering is really good!

I am loving this too, you have done a great job so far and I will be keeping an eye on your updates. Thanks for sharing it.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb117/chrisjewiss/palmtree.jpg

Rahmani I took your advise! I've created a couple of palm tree models, this one is the tall one. Its pretty render heavy though, even by instancing the model. I have to say I'm impressed by Cinema4D - its quite an under-rated 3D programme (everybody seems to use 3D Studio Max). It does what I ask it to do, without too many frustrations, which is all I can ask really.....

very impressive...and realistic...no over the top 1000000000000000m high buildings

Ok....my PC was chugging away last night, so I thought I'd post a couple of new renders. This is a new virtual construction project called Ocean Heights. Tower 1, on the beach front will be 312m. Tower 2, behind will be 204m. So far their cores are at 72m and 93m respectively. I'll keep you updated on the progress when I have time.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb117/chrisjewiss/CGICITYP.jpg

omg!!! this is just great!!!

Your computer should be powerfull to display and render this amazing number of polygons. Mine can only display one high level building, i have to take many shots before putting them together with paint-shop....

I have a Compaq 2.2ghz with athlon processor. I find Athlons good for 3D stuff, even with 100,000s of polys, its still pretty smooth moving around the scene. Rendering can be slow, especially with radiosity. I render each image at 3000x2000, this gives enough detail , without each render becoming monstrously big. The most important thig is to render in multipasses i.e reflection, lumination, shadow etc, so you can adjust it in photoshop. Those renders don't look as polished until you play about with them in a photo editing software.

I've done a few more.

Ocean heights, no construction updates

Great stuff!!!

Cinema 4D isn't a bad program. I used it for a while (even used 3DS Max 4.2), but since I learned trueSpace and Rhino 3D first, I always gravitate back to them.

You definately need a good video card to work with this amont of polys.

Yeah video card is probably the most important aspect. Although I fine tuned the PC to maximise processor output away from background programmes so it runs better.

Heres another view of Ocean Heights, no change to construction update

absolutely brilliant job. iv just created a city in sketchup n i thought mine was good but seeing this, i dont know whther i want to show it now

Hey don't worry zeeshanney. Just start a new thread. The whole point is to spread ideas, get comments and inspire other people to go and have a go. It dosne't matter if its one building or a whole town, just get your work on there:)

yeah, but I dont find Rhino that good to deal with a large amount of polys, and to extrude lots stuff.

not counting the poor render capabilities of Rhino, even with Flamingo renderer. Of course, if you are using a better renderer for Rhino, like Maxwell, things change a lot.

But even so, I consider Rhino better for detailed modelling of small stuff. Like modelling an IPOD. Or modelling a shoe or a car. Or modelling furniture.

But to model a highrise or a city, I think polygon programs (Rhino is NURBS) are better, be it 3DMax or Sketchup.

Once you get too many seperate objects C4D slows down and runs out of memory - As I found with the palm trees (which explains why theres not many). However by using a plane and then extruding multiple blocks up from this it for the buildings it works much better - well I haven't run out of memory yet. Rendering varies from 4 hours to plus 12 hours.

True, Rhino doesn't have the best rendering engine. I love the way you model with it though. One thing I like about Flamingo is the fairly realistic plants/trees you can add to the scene (they're not copies. Each one looks a bit different in shape than the last one).

wow what program do you use??

thats just jaw droping :eek2:

:dance: wow

wow, very very realistic, hope for more :)

Just how long is all of this taking to model?

So far the model has probably taken about 3 months on and off, when i get the time. To actually model one building is quite quick, its the rendering that takes a long time.

More renders. I did these over a week ago. I'm now working on 2 new zones of construction within the city north and south of this area. I will post new renders once complete, may take a little time. Hope you enjoy these for the moment:)

Pingyao, check your Private Messages! :D

woow, really great:cheers:

Excellent work. :okay:

@Pingyao: WOW! :eek2:

super duper!!! those construction sites make this it all the more realistic. you should add bits of colors on those streets to symbolize cars, right now it looks a bit deserted :)

I had thought about cars on the roads. Unfortunately the amount of work required for either modelling or texturing vehicles I feel outways the need for them. So for the moment the roads will be deserted! Plus most renders are from an adequate distance not to require cars. If anybody feels like adding some cars to the renders, be my guest:)

Brilliant thread, I love your city!

WOWOWOW!!! Beautiful! It looks so real!

Awesome work mate!

What program are using??? If I have to do this on AutoCAD, I'd prob need a terabyte of RAM!

Cinema 4D v9. I'd swear by this software. Its an all rounder and seems to cope well with big scenes

New transmission mast - tallest point in Chrisheem.

The newly completed radio and satellite antenna south of the old town is officially the tallest point in the city with the top of the mast reaching 356m above sea level. However the 216m mast already sits on top of 140m Chrisheem hill. The tallest structure is still Ocean Heights Plaza 1 at 319m

much detail :p
but some houses are still not there :(

Yeah, some minor houses are not modelled, a combination of time, processor grinding to a halt and couldn't be arsed:)

yea xD
does your prog handle it better than sketchup?
my towers lagg all the time...because too much detail xD

I have sketchup on my PC, but never used it, so can't really comment. From what I've heard sketchup can lag though. I use Cinema 4D, which has crashed a few times with too many polygons (As you can imagine trying to build a city naturally involves many thousands of polygons), but generally pretty good performance.

Rendering is another thing entirely, takes about 24hours depending on the scene.

WOW...i even cant wait if i render 10 min.. XD

This is a new Al Hamed Enterprise zone under development, to the northwest of Midtown. Plans for this area are to eventually overtake Midtown and downtown as the main commercial district for the city.

your work made me crazy!!!

Holy crap :D ,Just awesome work. Pingyao how many RAM have you installed in your machine? Are you using some global illumination to render the scenes?

Thanks for the comments. I have 1GB of ram, whicH I think is more important than graphics card, and processor speed for 3D work.

I tried HDRI (High Dynamic Range Lighting) maps on test renders, but it took too long (+3 days per render?!?!). So gave up. I render each view as a multipass file, with shadow, luminosity, diffuse layers etc. The most important thing though is to have a radiosity layer. I use a radiosity filter called stochastic, which gives the lighting a realistic feel - bounces light about well. Then its just a question of bringing all the layers into Photoshop to tweak them into the final image.

how long does it take to render?

Depends how much reflection is in the view. If theres a lot it takes forever. The last two, were pretty quick, the bottom one took about 4-half hours.

ok...wow 4half hours..i would go crazy xD
please comment my city

Excellent!

really great city :cheers:

im going to try and get this program :) is it difficult?

Cinema 4D is considered one of the easiest professional 3D applications on the market. However saying that its very, very in depth. I don't even do or know half the stuff it does, I stick to the 3D modelling, rendering side, but it also has a powerful animation aspect as well. Try and get a freebie version, from magazines/website/mate first if you can. thats what i did, and then just play around, see if it suits you.

Yes there are a lot of boxy buildings in downtown. However there is knew construction, which should change some of that.

hey 1 question where did you get the skies from?
if they are in the programm what file name ending are they?
xx.hdr?

The skies are just free JPG images of the internet. I composite them in Photoshop at the end.

hmmm okay xD
in kerkythea they look not good..maybe i have to resize them..

Chrisheem booming.

The council have confirmed that Chrisheem has officially the highest concentration of new construction and proposed projects outside of Dubai!
There are currently 11 projects under construction in the city with towers above 200m and 3 projects commencing with towers over 300m.

Downtown, has seen a slow down recently with the completion of the main Harbour Avenue area. However new buildings are already rising that will overtake this zone including the Harbour City Complex where reclaimed land from the harbour has already been formed. Rumours are suggesting there will be a 400m + tower here, which would easily surpass Chrisheems current tallest -Ocean Heights 1 at 319m.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb117/chrisjewiss/Image178.jpg
/\ Downtowns Harbour Avenue cluster with the land reclaimation in foreground for proposed Harbour City Complex - Chrisheems tallest??

Midtown, which has been stagnant since the completion of Chirsheems second tallest the Dancorp World Tower - will also see a rash of new buildings, from architects all around the globe:)

The largest concentration of new projects however will be in the Al Hamed area to the north. With the recent completion of Dancorp Vita at 210m this area already has 7 projects which will be taller including the 380m SCA tower, which would officially become Chrisheems tallest.

@pingyao, please let me know when there is space and time left for me/other members. Because I would love to design an other tower for your wonderful city!

(I'm bussy with towers and study's for towers. Maby I'll send you a PM just to let you see some desings!;))

nice i see al hamed is getting dense...
what will be the highest tower in al hamed ?

It is hard to say at the moment what the tallest building in Al Hamed will be. Yojo's Park Tower if it gets approved could be 420m, substantially taller than the SCA Tower, which once complete will be the tallest in the city.

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb117/chrisjewiss/Image200.jpg
which one is Tower I A?
Will it be posible to see the Shangri-La from this angle or will it be behind the +400m Tower A :(

just a quick question..does cinema 4d render the fog or do you add it in photoshop?

HArbour City Tower A is in front of the Ritz Carlton so it will be visibel from the harbourfront.

Yes Cinema4D renders fog.

How about a zone with exclusief luxury residential buildings, parks, villa's etc?

im so curious about the next render...*hoping the Mori Bank is U/C already*
:D

pingyao can you put now the picture of whole map from air to see how it's now looks??

how many inhabitans does the city have now?
some pages before you told us about 340.000
i guess its now alot more

Perhaps someone could design an international airport?

I have recently updated the building list, now includes most of the new construction projects http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=489499 . All queires concerning ideas for designs, areas for development please post in my other thread, which deals specifically with this.

Well the Downtown area is developing nicely. After completion of the landfill area in the harbour, Harbour City Phase I Tower A is beginning to rise. The exact height remains a mystery. It is planned to become the tallest building in Chrisheem on completion, although there are other projects, visions & proposals that would be taller.

wow al hamed is so dense i cant fins mori bank xD

You can't see Mori bank from here. Its roughly behind Vista Apartments (tower immediately left of Dancorp Vita)

I like the Al Hamed area! Nice!

yep..my su city will never be like this =(
kerkythea even dont render sometimes without AA

WWWWooooww..!!!!!!!! awsome i can't say anything else :master:

woow, i love the last pictrue, it looks so real :cheers:
and my skyscraper is under construction, thanks :D:D:D

/\ The harbourfront area of Downtown. In the centre of the picture is Harbour City Tower A, this is fast becoming another Burj Dubai, with conficting reports on its exact height. Current estimates are suggesting a 400m tower, although some anonymous people in the know are saying plus 400m. Either way its fairly undisputed knowledge hat this will become Chrisheems tallest, but for how long??

AMAZING!! looks incredibly real! can i design something for the city? :cheer:

Sure you can, but please use my other thread http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=502552 , which is dedicated just for members designs. Lolok forward to seeing your concepts!:)

over half a million people. arent the buildings too much for that much only?

Its a fairly compact city. Nowhere near the area of comparable cities with similiar populations. Also there are a lot of low rise residences, with mainly highrise offices, hotels and luxury residential, which have a smaller volume of apartments than council built blocks.

Hey Pingyao i have another proyect for you! Be sure to check your messages. I will send you the specifications.

Have a nice day!

have you ever thought of night shots? With illuminated facades?

a night render with this big city would take 500years man.....
and if you use the same texture how you can make it glow at some spots and at some not?

Yeah it would take ages, and technically its pretty complicated, its not just a question of illuminating all the textrues, cause that would look weird, they would have to be specially made. I'm afraid its too much at the moment, but i'd love to see someone else have a go at nighttime renders.

yeah would be nice....but rendering one light in kerkythea take me about an hour ( high res)...and then it dont look good because i didnt took Metro Light Transport....and MLT takes about 1-2 days...no thx :D

Chrisheems gets a new tallest building.

Today the SCA Towers short-lived record as tallest building in Chrisheem was broken. The HarbourCity Tower A has now reached 391m overtaking the observation tower. It also means the focus has gone back on Downtown, which has been a little overshadowed recently by the rise of Al Hamed. The towers final height is still a secret, however undiclosed reports from the enginnerring company are putting it around the 410m mark.

^Wooow nice! I want to see it closer! I hope it's not going to be more than 480m,,,than my tower becomes the 3rd supertall:lol:

Yeah, give us a closer look! I like how it sits there right at the forefront of the skyline. Reminds me of the way the IFC towers over the port of Hong Kong.

Xlchris, Trilogy has always been the third highest of what's going up currently. Zee's is 550m I think? Mine is 535 (I think I should add on a 50m spire, damn you Zee!), then Trilogy at 480.

I still think Pingyao is designing the crown jewel of his empire in secret and we're going to see a post for "Burj Chrisheem" or something that is going to be like 1000m+ and make all our towers look like little kids. Of course that is why this is all fun to watch :)

300m Towers now dominate Chrisheem

That was the headlines for the Chrisheem Daily Press (Expat English Newspaper). The Cities skyline is on crack! Well not quite, its not Dubai yet! A month ago there were just two 300m plus buildings. Now there are seven! Including the newly completed 2nd and 3rd tallest, both in Al Hamed, which along with the SCA Tower are all in the mid to late 300s. With the completion of the first plus 400m tower in Downtown not far off, the next spate of construction could well be a series of 400m towers.

^Really nice pictures, I like the Harbour Tower, because of the location!!

Maybe I'll design something for Downtown in the future, when the design 'rush' is a bit over!:lol:

Woo very nice! I like Harbor City Tower A a lot. Where did Gulf Steel Plaza come from, that one went up overnight! Also, I like how DanCorp World Tower still makes a pretty dramatic impact on the skyline there.

Very awesome =)

i like the plane :D
wow how much fog there is for a sunny day oO
haze?

Thanks for the comments. Skyhi71 - I think thats Telecentre Tower 5, you can see, rather than Dancorp World. It looks similiar, not as high. Incedently there is currently a communcation mast being erected on the top of this building, which would make it the second tallestin Chrisheem, although masts are always controversial, plus is what never part of the original design.

The Gulf Steel building was erectred in record time (I got bored, and wanted it done)!

The fog is mainly pollution, although Chrisheem can be windy due to its coastal location, which helps disperse the smog.

Ah my mistake, DanCorp is in Midtown, not Al Hamed. It does look similar though.

First Megatall?

A newspaper today printed a short article about a possible megatall for Chrisheem...

Chrisheem District Council yesterday announced a visionary proposal for a skyscraper development in the Al Hamed commercial District of the city. A spokesman outlined the plans for a commercial development known only as 'The Pinnacle'. He explained the tower would be in the region of 6-700m's and would be by far the tallest proposal that the city had seen. He added that the proposal was at this stage only a vision and was currently being examined to see whether it was viable, both economically and practically. Detractors have suggested Chrisheem could be over-developing and could see an economic slump if the current world climate remains wobbly. However developers have expressed recent optimism and a need for additional commercial and residential space due to the cities particular local economic success. It remains to be seen if the council will opt for such a dramatic and expensive solution, although some involved in planning have discussed the possible benefits of a landmark building, pointing at Dubai's promotional success with the still to be completed Burj Dubai.

Make of that what you will.......

^^

/\ Al Hamed area. A communication mast has recently been added to the top of Telecentre Tower 5, actually increasing its height to 365m, second tallest point in the city. However as it was added after completion and not part of the original design, the building remains 8th tallest.

Is this future mega-tall gonna be designed by you or will it be designed by a forum member?

Its by me, the only one I'm designing, thats if it gets off the drawing board......

Hey Pingyao!!!! your city keeps getting better and better!
BTW, will my KCI Tower be approved ??? just asking, with or without it, keep it up!!

Its by me, the only one I'm designing, thats if it gets off the drawing board......

HA! I so called that :)

Right on, can't wait to see it, even if it never gets off the drawing board, I wouldn't mind seeing the sketches/concept art etc.

Wicked!

HarbourCity Tower A has been completed. The total height from street level entrance to the tip of the structure is 412m. The building has a total of 92 floors. It has offically become the 7th tallest building in the world in between Citic Plaza (391m) and 2 International Finance Centre (415m). Commentators have been struck by the similarity between its form and location to that of 2 International Finance Centre in Hong Kong. However Chrisheem's council have said it is a sleeker tower and unique to their city, its design came out of the location on a small reclaimed portion of land and the need by developers to achieve the required office space.

What do you use to render?

All these other towers in the city that members haven't designed, are you the one who designed them? Or are they based on designs from the real world?

The renders are created using Cinema4Ds own render engine. All these towers are my own creations. Most are simply imagined ideas. Some inspired by real builidngs. Eco Tower was partly inspired by Messe Turm:)

I like that one!

By the way... is that beach in your city panorama within Chrisheem's borders? I'm working on a hotel and that'd be a killer view, not to mention the killer surf!

Well the beach is actually one of my photos, however the location on the model from where that view was taken does exist (it is modelled), its way out of the city though and surrounded by not much at all really.

Can I just design a supertall (700m?) is it like a contest, or do you want do do it yourself?

There is no contest. I always say designs are welcome even though my time is limited. Just submit ideas on other thread.

Downtown gets new land

The largest single construction project in the cities history is underway in Downtowns harbour. A massive land reclaimation scheme is taking place forming a significant new portion of land in the bay. The project comprises 80,000 square metres of reclaimed ground between the cargoport facility and HarbourCity Tower A. The cities council are expected to announce plans for a marina/residential complex and additional office space, with a possible hotel and cruiseship terminal. No plans have yet been submitted, but with land space at a premium in Downtown this is sure to be an exciting development.

The Pinnacle

City unveils concept for 'The Pinnacle' along with a proposed height of 680m. So far this project has been purely hypothetical, now the council have admitted plans are underway to develop a huge site south of the Capital Centre towers in Al Hamed. Pending planning construction could start very soon!

^Looks like the Chrysler building!

Retro :D

nice....how fat is that f****r? :D

the pinnacle reminds me of the chrysler except much larger in size :O

So far these are the only details. However judging by the sketch, the dimensions are about 85m in width. The design is rather 'retro', the city wanted a more traditional approach for a supertall. Some critics have said its a little unimaginative, however the council preferred a more classic look. The overal effect will probably be less Crysler building in reality, due to its sheer size.

May I offer a suggestion for the Pinnacle concept? Though I like the overall shape of it, and agree with the retro aspect I think it can use some flair.

Perhaps each one of those arched pieces at the top of the tower could be peeled back from the building, kinda like a flower blooming. Here is a picture to let you know the idea, based off your original concept...
http://inlinethumb58.webshots.com/31289/2893201550100707270S500x500Q85.jpg

But then again this design feature would probably reduce the area of floor space, so maybe it isn't such a great idea.
However, this is your design and it's up to the council to ultimately decide what is built.

Pinyao, due to the fact that i have not enough time, i cant render and i do not have a scanner to design the park, shopping/residential complex... I sujest that somebody designs the park and the shopping center + Hotel and residential tower on my plots. And if I agree with the design. I will propose it to the city council.

In fact im just searching an architect for my firts project.

So I just want to develop projects in the city with my company. Do you agree Pingyao?
If there is someone who would like to be the architects of my new developement projects... Just PM me! Thanks.
